be well booted and gfoved is to be vel
dressed. Now, when these points arr
certainly most essential to good dress
ing. they are not by any means thu
only ones TO be considered. If tn,
neck -dressi ng and the handkerchie
are unsuita BILE and the fan in bad taste
the good effect of any toilet will b.
marred.
There are in the belongings of {
toilette special styles that are pro
nouncedly smart, but for women te
whom these are unsuited or distaste
full there are always others that. while
ranking among the conservatives,
afford sufficient scope for individual
'ikings.
The most popular boot for walking
Is Of soft kid, with somewhat mar.
row, though not pointed, toe, a heel
high enough to be of use (but not like
that on Louis Quatorze slippery and
short vamp. Sometimes it is entire
ly of kid; again the vamp is Of patent
leather, and the uppers of kid or cloth.
The very wide boot, known as "com-
mon sense" is worn by people whom
it suits, but for a slender foot it is
rather uncomfortable and induces a
shutting gait that is by no means
graceful. The common sense shoe is
certainly not all things to all women;
therefore, even the most ardent advo-
cate Of reform in boots should not in
sist upon all women wearing it.
In low-cut shoes and slippers there
are some dainty effects. The plain
Oxford tie in black kid and patent
leather is as popular as ever, and it is
really most desirable for general wear
A pretty slipper has the toe and heel
of red leather and narrow line above
Of black patent leather, while tiny
cut-steel buckle is on the front
Worn, as they usually are, with black
silk stockings, these slippers look ex-
tremely jaunty and are adapted to any
costume, regardless of its color
Plain patent-leather and satin slip
pers, with the usual high heels and
narrow toes, are also in vogue.
The laced boots are in the same com.
binations of patent leather aud kid as
are shown in the Oxford ties. A pretty
foot looks well in boot of
soft leather in the natural hue,
with ribbon to match. Leather
dressed in this way is very yielding
and with such coverings comes sem
sation of having onesfeet gloved-the
acme of success in the art Of St. Girls
pin.
In stockings few novelties are seen.
Black silk and Isle thread have prefer
ence over all Others and may be worn
with any toilet. Bronze stockings har-
monize with the untanned leather !
shoes, gray, mauve and black with the
ALFRED ones, and gray and black with |
the red-and-black slippers. Sometimes
dark-blue stockings are worn with
black shoes, but for general wear black |
is considered best form.
Beaded stockings are most undesira-
bic; such effects seem only suited to
the fairies in a pantomime, who, par
taking of ethereal nature, are not sup
posed to have their hosiery visit so
a place as the laundry. a
beaded stocking looks pretty, but it
has even less reason for existence than
. yelvet parasol.
Little people wear dark blue or
black hosiery, and wise mammas give
preference to the inky shade.
1t may be summed up that for the

in gloves, the undressed kid NOUS
gustatre, with four buttons, plain
sti ching on the back and an easy,
Though not loose fit. shares the vogue
with the heavy qlace kid, which has
ovsAapping seams, a pique finish at
he pack, and four large buttons that
ire reslly serviceablc. The tan and
gray tints obtain; it is accepted that
an may be worn with costumes of
Every color except gray, the
after demanding gloves to match.
IN undressed kid gloves, shades of tan
IRE displayed, and they range from a
.aint primrose to hue that has hint
# brick about it. Deeper tones are
hown in the glace gloves. In favor OF
he gray gloves it must be said that
hey clean well and preserve a uni
ormity of coloring, while tan has an
unpleasant tendency to sreakincss.
A tight glove is conceded to be al
most as bad as no glove at all; great
are is, therefore. taken to have the
loves fit so well that while every
,ovement is easy, there shall be no
'rinkles suggestive of looseness. The
lea that very tight, or very loose {
love. can be considered well-Gtting is
relic of the uncivilized times when
